Tea/coffee and cake/cookies will be available for snacks throughout the day. Please bring your own packed lunch though if you forget this in your patchwork excitement, Costa Coffee and Waitrose are a short 5 minute drive away! Please note that toilet facilities are located in a separate building accessible only via steps.
